I enjoyed the small group setting at venue park. It was a good refresher course for me. I look forward to other events with this group.

I really enjoyed the event, and felt it gave me a great jumpstart on street photography. It was very beneficial to walk around and shoot with Chris. I very much enjoyed his easy approach.
